Armada Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Highlights Of Tom Brady's Personal Emails, Revealed In NFLPA Lawsuit In late February, the Vancouver Canucks made a road trip to Boston to play the Bruins. Canucks owner Francesco Aquilini requests Brady meet with his players, and Brady squeezes out a donation to his foundation in return. Aquilini can afford it.

Cheers Francesco From: Tom Brady Date:02-11-2015 8:06 PM (GMT-08:00) To: Francesco Aquilini Subject: Re: Dinner Hi there I apologize for the late reply. We have been traveling all day to Montana and just getting settled. Gisele is still in brazil so I am just trying to coordinate schedules w her too. I would love to help you and your players out, I also know it can be a very sensitive topic for players/coaches especially when it comes to taking care of their bodies. If you think it would be a great benefit to them it would be my pleasure to help. Why don’t be both sleep on it for a couple days and see how we feel. I wouldn’t want it to be a waste of their time and I also know if the players aren’t open or receptive to making changes then it will be a waste of my time. Let me know how that sounds. I look forward to seeing you soon. Take care On Feb 20, 2015, at 9:35 AM, Francesco Aquilini wrote: Tom: Any Looking forward to seeing you and Gisele on Monday for dinner. Do you have a place in mind? On the player note, I spoke to my guys about meeting with you and how they felt about it. I told them that they would need to be open to listen to different ideas otherwise their is no point in meeting. They were thrilled and really honoured that you would make the time for them and said they would love hear your preparation and body maintenance for games. (Don’t let a small problem become a big problem!). They are really looking forward to meeting you. Just from my conversation with you last summer it was amazing how far advanced you are in sports science. They will only benefit from someone like you that is actually doing it as opposed to theory. I’ve spent a lot of time on sports science, you are by far the most advanced I terms of its application. They are really interested in what you have to say on a lot of topics especially someone who has had a long successful career in pro sports and winning so many championships. If your still open to the idea we can meet for an hour before dinner somewhere and then go to dinner from there. There will be 6 guys from our leadership group and Trevor Linden our President and myself. It can be a round table discussion very casual. Cheers!

I have been very fortunate to learn the right information from the best person in the world whom I work with. His name is Alex. He is my body coach and the person who I am blessed to have learned from. I would like to bring him also so he can answer some technical questions if the guys have any. He hasn’t been wrong 1 time in the 11 years we have worked together. We should allow 2 hours as time will fly. As for dinner, there is a great restaurant called Oishii. It is in Boston. We can go with our wives there. I do have one request. I am starting a foundation as it relates to the business Alex and I have together. We want to educate all athletes on sustained peak performance. As you might imagine, we turn kids and parents away who can’t afford to come and get treatment at our center. Sometimes they come for one treatment and are headed in the right direction but can’t follow up because they dont have the financial means. That has been a challenging issue for our center because our body coaches are also care givers and it’s hard to turn people in need away. I would only ask that after our meeting, if you feel like we have helped you and your team, that you would make a donation to our foundation to treat those young athletes who can’t quite afford it. Thanks Francesco I look forward to seeing you From: Francesco Aquilini Date: 02/21/2015 5:05 PM (GMT-05:00) To: Tom Brady Subject: Re: Dinner Tom! Dinner sounds great! We would be glad to donate to your foundation! It’s for a good cause. Lets discuss it when I see you. If we could meet with the players say at 3:30 on Monday that should give us enough time before the dinner. I think we are Getting a meeting room at the four seasons. I will confirm with you the location. Say Dinner at 7 pm at Oishii.

See you tomorrow On Feb 22, 2015, at 9:05 PM, Tom Brady wrote: Great I look forward to seeing and meeting them all. Hopefully we can all learn something. My friend and partner Alex Guerrero has been my body coach for 11 years and he has taught me so much. It will be a fun discussion. Safe travels have a fun night in LA. From: Francesco Aquilini Date: 02/23/2015 11:40 AM (GMT-05:00) To: Tom Brady Subject: Re: Dinner Just got feedback the players are really excited to meet you and hear what you have to say. http://deadspin.com/highlights-of-tom-bradys-personal-emails-revealed-in-n-1722160002?utm_campaign=socialflow_deadspin_twitter&utm_source=deadspin_twitter&utm_medium=socialflow <- Rest of Tom Brady's emails. Pretty cool and shows how much of a pro Tom Brady is. Aquilini's have definitely been our most generous owners ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Down by the River Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Brady may have cheated, but he'll still be one of my favorites (after Manning). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuckhound73 Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 Never en a fan of Brady, even before deflategate. This string of emails both softens my disdain for him & inflates it. I respect the fact he would be willing to meet with a team to discuss his methods/ideas on how to stay in shape... even if it was for a donation to his charity. He didn't have to. Could have easily just gone "no sorry, I cant" and who would have blamed him. That said, my disdain for him also was inflated by the fact he gave Francesco Aquilini ANY of his time AT ALL. Of course that's not entirely his fault. I mean whoever put them in contact with each other is at fault....but come on Tom, do some research on the people you decide to go to dinner with. Random side note - I cant help but notice how many grammatical & spelling mistakes Francesco made. Clearly not the most educated person. If I read these emails without the context of who they were first, I'd assume Tom was the owner of a successful business and Francesco was some moderately functional fan looking to meet up with him. Also, I suppose the Bruins should thank Tom Brady for their Stanley Cup win a bit? Those tips clearly paid off it seems..... for the other Boston team.

Down by the River Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 ok.... uhhhmm..... anyone else think that some things we just don't need to or care to really know about or is it just me? I find it interesting that Aquilini tries to bring in elite athletes from other sports to talk to his team. At the same time, I think that Brady's emails should be none of my god damn business.

tybarber Posted August 5, 2015 Share Posted August 5, 2015 I think this was my favorite of all the emails (From one of Brady's guys to him regarding purchasing a domain name for his charity): It’s interesting — someone’s owned the TB12.com domain for 13 years, so it’s possible that they’re not a squatter and just like the “TB12” name, which is probably a better situation for us. Last week Tony suggested that — if we did want to try to buy TB12.com — we should do everything possible to conceal the real identity of the buyer. Apparently he’s gotten good deals in the past by having interns convince squatters that they’re doing school projects, etc. It’s worth doing whatever we can, I suppose.

Seriously if this team wins the Stanley Cup these owners will have had a big hand in it, whether you like it or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think Horvat is part of the leadership group. Burrows maybe, and Edler? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
